SOA for Dummies Book IBM Edition

There is (will be) an SOA for Dummies book. And IBM will send you a copy for free.

Go to SOA for Dummies Book IBM Edition and log into your IBM account (such as your developerWorks login) (or create one). As usual, it prompts you to verify and update your personal information; make sure your mailing address is correct! Because when you press Submit, the next screen says, "You [sic] book will be shipped right away."

What you'll get (according to Sandy) is a copy of Service-Oriented Architecture For Dummies (Amazon) ("The fun and easy way to find out about SOA." SOA, fun and easy?!) which is scheduled to be available 4Q06. I haven't seen the book, so I don't know if it's any good or not. But the price is right, at least when you get the hookup from IBM.
